@EsaiasTimons @intrepidusink @AllisonWrites I saw a woman hanging washing on a line and thought behind every piece of washing is a story. Then I thought, what if there is another story behind the washing?

.@elizabethcollis let’s discuss process. I like the tight arcs of this story, from birth’s onset to the last paragraph, where the goal is met. But readers & writers are interested in your arc. How did it start in your head? 4 of 8 @allisonrwrites @intrepidusink

I was five days overdue. “Go fetch the washing off the line,” Mom said, “let’s see if that gets things started.” #read #literaryfiction by @ElizabethCollis at Intrepidus Ink ♥️

@IntrepidusInk I'm having fun on Instagram @collis.elizabeth curating my extensive #bookmark collection, matching each #bookmark with its perfect #book. Here’s a piece up @PitheadChapel and I’m hard at work on a memoir.
Intrepidus Ink@intrepidusink

@IntrepidusInk we don’t see the antagonist during the #story action, so I’ve used other senses to portray him. Smell, touch, hearing, taste, they allow a conciseness in conveying character which we can lose when relying on sight, the dominant sense for most of us.
Intrepidus Ink@intrepidusink

.@ElizabethCollis the story’s antagonist is also perfectly drawn within heartbeats. How do compression, brevity, and urgency support the results? 4 of 7 #authoradvice
